- Nobody is going to break

the rules here.

and much less with political

demonstrations.

Hildelisa knows it.

You heard the principal. We

cant allow indiscipline

and you won't come into

class like this.

Hey, and what are you

doing here so early?

They didn't let me in

for my uniform was incomplete.

- Then you spent the 2o

cents for nothing.

oh, yes, Aunt Rosenda.

- Heres the coffee, mom.

- Thanks.

Seems there werent enough of us.

And where on earth have

I put my cigarettes?

- That happens to me because

I live so far.

- That happens to you because

youre always mooning.

Trying to conquer the world

naked and barefoot.

Thats enough, Rosenda.

From Diezmero to San Miguel del Padrn

the fare isnt so expensive

but from here, from San Francisco

de Paula... here everything

turns out worse.

oh, darling, ask your mom to get you

a penthouse on Paseo del Prado.

oh, leave the girl

with her illusion, Rosenda.

Yes, thats right, so she can

die of disappointment.

You and the clouds got

me quite crazy...

You and the clouds will kill me...

But the only thing I want to do

is to study, Aunt Rosenda.

Thats okay, but you should have chosen

a more practical career:

shorthand, typing, trade. Those that

end soon and yield money sooner.

oh, I have to finish high school

to be able to begin college.

Have a little coffee.

Careful, its hot!

So, may we know...

what the young lady wants to study?

Philosophy and arts.

What?

Philosophy and Arts.

Philosophy and what...

Wow, a philosopher in the family.

The old man fell asleep

at once and dreamed

of Africa, of the time

he was young boy.

and of the long golden beaches

and the white beaches,

so white that they hurt your eyes,

and the high promontories

and the big long mountains.

But tonight, the scent of

the land breeze came very early

and he knew it was too

early in his dream

and he kept dreaming to

see the white peaks

of the islands rising from the sea.

He dreamed of lions on the beach.

Since hes been reading

that Hemingway book

he thinks its the greatest

thing on earth.

and, after all, the only thing

he knows about Hemingway is his pool.

- Hey, you too.

- Whats that?

oh, grandma, that was

2 or 3 years ago.

Stinger, the one next door,

does set the dogs on you,

but Hemingway...

okay, okay, but dont even

think about it again.

Study, Larita, study,

even if studying oppresses you,

for a woman with no learning

is like a flower with no perfume.

Grocer, whats the matter,

why are you so happy,

I think its the result

of whats in vogue...

Every person is one world,

but you have to go on

with your own stuff,

elevating your thought,

mixing with people that
